No, not really ... I never have withdrawal symptoms during weekends or holidays, when I often don't drink any coffee. I always drink coffee with lots of milk, 50% or more. One Nespresso has the same effect on me as 2 cups of coffee out of the machine at work (which is the number of cups I drink on 'normal' workdays). I'm actually starting to think I have some sort of stomach infection, I've had it before and the symptoms are similar (although it was worst last time).

Cup of jasmine green tea

You know, a couple years ago I really hated this tea, but now I can't get enough of it.

OK. You know your body better then random internet person.

Jasmine Green tea is awesome. Have you tried the pearls? You need to get them from a good store, like Teavana or Lupicia or TG. They are devine.

"cranberry" tea.

I hope so

. Although I often just convince myself I know what's wrong with me, so I don't have to go see a doctor. I hate doctors. I guess in a couple of weeks someone will force me to go

I haven't. I've been wanting to go to a teashop in town that's supposed to be really good and has a wide selection of teas, but it was closed last time I was there. But I really want to try some new things. This thread is getting to me ...

Republic of Tea has some special chocolate teas for you chocolate heads. the thought makes me cringe, but some of you have been excited about other chocolate tea combos

nohmi2 · 01-21-2011, 04:29 PM

Dark coffee. Hot and strong, then when I have really surfaced, another one.

Damn the expense, I'm worth it.

Cheers

Raspberry yogurt smoothie.

I have also been working on a cup of Keemun. I noticed that there was a nice salty after taste to the Keemun. I would describe it as similar to a really good soy sauce, if that makes any sense. It has that salty but fermented taste to it.

Either it is a part of the tea, and I hope it is because I really like it, or it is connected to the nuts I had recently and the fact that I have a cold.

Thanks. It is a very minor cold. Enough that the throat was scratchy, the nose stuffy, and a little tired but nothing that got too bad.

I have given it a much easier and right to the point nick: Assam Hammer. It is sooo strong.
If you can see it on the pictures the leaves are made into small pellets but I still put one spoon per 300ml cup/mug. I guess it is a lot more concentrated than usual tea leaves. Here you go with the caffeine deficiency

or Here

Anyway, I just finished a cup of Assam Hammer or Assam Hammerhead?
Next one is English Breakfast with a distinctive taste of the same Assam.

I'll have to check into that one. I like a strong tea for daytime.

I'm working on some Bigelow English Breakfast tea that I brought back from Florida. I think I'm going to have to import this stuff. I like it!

Oooo, I just bought some Bigelow; English Teatime and Earl Grey. I like these for evening.

In my cup... sumatra coffee...

I succumbed today.
No excuses this time. I have been looking at it for 6-7 weeks.
I bought Ahmad English Breakfast Tea.
Good caddies, so even if the second tea, #1 will have to go it is worth it. Although. I think my wife likes bergamot, so double worth.

A cup of green tea Nepal Antu Valley.

I really like the Ahmad Earl Grey tea I've been drinking lately. I hope you enjoy your new tea!
